Plaid Fun in Chicago

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous Thursday! I spent the past weekend in Chicago, a city that I love fondly. When I was in college, I went on an exchange program to study at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. Although it was only a short semester, I really enjoyed every moment of this unique and invaluable experience. I used to drive up to Chicago every now and then to spend the weekend there.  Years later it's easy to tell that this beautiful city never lost any of  its charm. I like to think of visiting Chicago as catching up with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. It's familiar and comforting, just like the good old times, as if nothing's changed :)

Blue My Mind

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a fabulous day! As fall is fast approaching and I wanted to incorporate some rich fall colors into today's outfit. A dash of deep burgundy, beautifully textured blues and golden hues are just a few of my favorites for the season :)

Rockaway Beach Getaway

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and are recharged for the week ahead. I went away to Rockaway beach over the weekend for a little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Some times it's just nice to be able to take a break, free your mind and get away on a little adventure :)
